Toronto needs an engineer.

Use the city’s land, kitchens and partnerships to get food to people — school and community food programs, support for food banks, and community growing.

Uber, Lyft, taxi and delivery drivers keep this city moving — and too many are burned out by low pay, opaque take-rates, and sudden deactivations. Toronto licenses these apps, so I’ll use that power to fix the conditions: a fair-earnings floor on the New York model, fare and commission transparency, protection from deactivation without cause, and a level playing field between taxi and rideshare so one industry isn’t crushed while the other grows unchecked. Taxi drivers pushed to the margins deserve a fair shot. Gig workers deserve respect and a living income.

Employee status and full labour rights (overtime, EI, CPP) are provincial and federal — I’ll push for them so no driver is left without a safety net.

Repair-first, planned and prioritized on the evidence: roads, transit, water and city buildings maintained before they fail. This is my field.

Keep traffic moving and keep people safe — safe crossings, working signals, protected lanes where they save lives, and roads maintained properly.

Climate-resilient infrastructure is my field. Retrofit buildings (our biggest source of emissions), protect against flooding, grow the tree canopy, and electrify the city fleet on a real timeline.

The electricity grid and the building code are provincial — I’ll push for cleaner rules and sustained funding.

Multi-year budgets, repair-first capital, and no election-year gimmicks. Decisions made on evidence, with the books open.

Every tax dollar should be respected. I’ll hold property-tax increases as low as honest, evidence-based budgeting allows — through value-for-money, real audits and ending waste, not by hiding costs or backloading them past an election. I’ll expand tax and utility relief for low-income seniors and people with disabilities, keep growing the small-business discount, and make speculators, luxury owners and vacant properties pay their fair share — so ordinary homeowners aren’t left carrying the load.

Expand affordable child care and cut the subsidy waitlist, fund youth programs, and keep safe routes to school — with parents as real partners in the city’s own children’s programs.

School buildings and curriculum are provincial and school-board — I’ll use my engineer’s voice to press the province to fix crumbling schools.

The Toronto Public Library is one of this city’s great equalizers — free books and learning, free internet and computers, and a safe, welcoming place open to everyone. I’ll protect it from cuts, extend branch hours, expand children’s and newcomer programming, close the digital divide, and keep our branches as community hubs — and in good repair.

Too many Toronto neighbourhoods — especially in the inner suburbs — still don’t have a proper community centre. That’s not fair. I’ll map the gaps and build or expand recreation and community centres where people actually live: gyms, pools, youth space, seniors’ programs, and after-school places kids can go. Every neighbourhood deserves a hub, not just the ones that already have one.

Everyone deserves to feel safe — on their street, in their park and on the TTC. Gun violence and the drug crisis are tearing at neighbourhoods, and I won’t look away. I’ll back focused, accountable policing through the Police Services Board against illegal guns and gun trafficking; expand violence interruption and youth outreach that reaches kids before crews do; and treat the drug crisis as both public safety and public health — more treatment and harm-reduction where it saves lives, more enforcement against traffickers who poison communities, and more crisis workers so a mental-health or overdose call gets the right response. On transit: more staff and lighting, well-kept public spaces, and results for every safety dollar — not just a bigger budget.

Courts, bail and criminal law are provincial and federal — I’ll press for a system that holds violent offenders accountable and supports victims.

Illegal guns and open drug markets make people afraid in their own neighbourhoods. I’ll push a clear city role: disrupt gun supply with police and partners, fund proven violence-interruption programs, expand treatment beds and outreach for addiction, and keep kids in recreation and community centres — not on the corner. Safety and opportunity have to move together.

Firearms law, border guns, and major drug prosecutions are federal and provincial — I’ll fight for the tools and funding Toronto needs, and use every city lever we already have.

Reconciliation measured in action, not words — in city land, naming, hiring, and genuine partnership with Indigenous communities.

Strengthen Access T.O. so every resident can use city services without fear.

Finish TTC accessibility, keep elevators working and fix Wheel-Trans; clear sidewalks and curb cuts; invest in the city’s long-term-care homes; and expand tax and utility relief for low-income seniors and people with disabilities.

Resource the human-trafficking and child-exploitation units through the Police Services Board, strengthen the city’s End Trafficking strategy and survivor supports, and use hotel, rideshare and short-term-rental licensing to require anti-trafficking training and reporting.

Child-protection agencies and the Amber Alert system are provincial — I’ll advocate for them to work.
